According to Voetbalprimeur.nl, negotiations between NAC Breda and Raków Częstochowa for defender Rio Hillen are ongoing. While these talks are occurring, Hillen is training separately from the group. NAC Breda had rejected multiple bids from the Polish club earlier this summer, after which NAC made a counterproposal. Trainer Carl Hoefkens stated that the transfer will only proceed on NAC's terms. Hoefkens also said there is still no clarity regarding Hillen's return to the squad and that the situation is not easy for the player.

Rakow Czestochowa made five bids for Rio Hillen and was prepared to make a significant offer for the player. According to De Telegraaf, NAC could have received up to 2.1 million euros for Hillen, including easily achievable bonuses. The difference between the offer and the asking price was a few hundred thousand euros, and NAC refused to negotiate further with Rakow to reach an agreement on the price. De Telegraaf reports that Rakow has now definitively withdrawn from the transfer due to what the source described as NAC's arrogant attitude ('hautaine houding') during negotiations. The deal is now definitively off.

Raków Częstochowa has submitted an offer exceeding one million euros for 23-year-old Dutch-Brazilian defender Rio Hillen.

The club has reportedly refused multiple approaches from the Polish club. Hillen, who has 5 caps for the Netherlands U19 team, is himself open to the move but is not permitted to speak with the media. It remains uncertain whether NAC will eventually cooperate on a transfer after turning down the initial offer. The player's current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €600k.
